Ultimately Off-Topic

Ah, it must be different in America. I take it Google Fiber is fiberoptic. I did some research and Korea seems has pretty much just fiberoptic broadband and is pretty much all they use and is five times cheaper than it is in America. And for no good reason too, other than, that's just how it is.

But it's annoying for everybody for one very good reason. Broadband, Internet - it doesn't really require much resources. It's just like the phone services. The only resources it uses are a tiny bit of electricity which can be powered by the sun, some wires and a bit of plastic. It's just extortionate pricing for something in which the Earth provides so easily. And just like everything else, whether it's lawnmowers we don't need to the razors we shave with to the graphics in a Pokemon game to the homes we live in, there's absolutely no need to always pay such a ridiculous amount of money for such primitive technology. Broadband just shouldn't have to cost anything at all, let alone such a high price. It's just like a phone contract. I know phone signals and wifi are powered by electricity, just like so many other things we use, but it is only a little bit of human ingenuity which has brought us this simple tech. The Internet for example was made back in the 1950's. It's not the accumulation of money that's brought you nice things, but the efficiency of simple technology and the ingenuity of a very small party of engineers who are probably dead now. Think about it, you can get a pack of batteries for a dollar and yet they're only a few decades old. It's all just a corrupt market system. When are the public going to realise that profit doesn't economise?

ramble, ramble, ramble...

You should complain though because if you threaten to leave their service, they should drop the price at least a little bit, because they want your money. You'd be surprised what an angry phone call can do and a bit of haggling can do, because they don't want to lose you.

Bummer bro, hope you feel better soon.

Axis is pretty good as is Avengers and New Avengers. I'm really digging the "Death of Wolverine: Weapon X" series more than I had anticipated. Spider-verse has also been fairly entertaining.

New Honest Trailer!

Er... which isn't actually an Honest Trailer.

I've just been catching up with Saga and TWD and it's new cast of characters. I've been reading some Blackheath books, been catching up with Daredevil and I have finally started reading Jason Aaron's Thor series, which I'm really happy about.

Did anyone here read Ragnarok by IDW? Is it any good?

I can't get enough of it. I love TWD. If you want to get the first 96 issues, you should check out the first two Compendiums which collect 48 issues each. They're not very expensive either.

If I had to take a wild guess, in comparison to the TV series I'd say the comic book is currently on Season 8 atm.

• thecrimson, both of them are on Amazon (US). But they're not comedies.

• The cross lightsaber design from Star Wars: TFA appears to be a way of stopping one's hand from being cut off. Makes sense considering how much that happened in the previous films (Anakin, Dooku, Windu, Grievous, Luke, Vader).

• I just found out Fight Club has a sequel in comic book form. My lack of bread makes me cautious to buy it though.

• Marvel Axis Inversion event brings new character rosters, team ups and costumes. Nothing big has happened yet but Marvel promises they have big plans for 2015. They even say big things will be happening across the universe, but so far it's been pretty much just a Marvel Team-Up vs Red Skull story. Fingers crossed next year will bring Marvel's promises to fruition.

Bendis actually isn't bad when he's trying. I remember being tired of Bendis too once and I happened to come across some old ultimate Spidey comics and they were actually good. I contributed that to Bendis just losing his touch but that wasn't the case either. When Miles Morales first came on the scene those comics were good too. I have to contribute that to Bendis is just phoning it in most of the time now and just riding on his name.

As for comics ... has anybody read Tooth and Claw by Kurt Busiek? It's something new but so far it seems pretty good.

I'm also having fun with Spideyverse ... although my wallet is crying.

Spider-verse is great. It's so exciting! Why is it that whenever I try to get away from superhero comics it's always something Spider-Man related that brings me back? I haven't read much of Dan Slott's work but goddamn he knows how to tell comics.

I've picked up a few Ultimate issues but nothing much has happened in them. Just a lot of filler to accommodate the wait until it's over. The Spider-Man stuff keeps me somewhat entertained but there's no way it can hold up an entire universe.

I re-read Batman: Earth One the other day to get my mind fresh for the sequel. I keep up with some other stuff but not much because money's been so tight over Christmas.

I'll definitely be picking up Gwen's Spider-Girl comic when it comes out.

Spider-Ham won't die. He's become too much of a novelty cash cow/pig.

Hey whats everbody waTCHING animewise?

Guys, look at this

The rumors I read was Marvel rebooting it and it would start with Peter already being Spider-Man and NOT another origin. As per the leaks released anyways.
